Customer Reviews


I couldn't decide between the wooden version of the scoot trike or the metal so I purchased both and can compare the two.
The wooden version is very retro and cute, but metal version is a bit larger. My son is tall and will be able to use it longer so that is the one that we are going to keep.
Seat: Metal version has a hard plastic seat, and the screws go through it so they show. The seat has 3 heights. The lowest height is slightly higher than the seat on the wooden version. The seat is also slightly further back from the handlebars than the seat on the wooden version
Wooden version has a lightly padded seat, and the screws do not show.
Handlebars: Metal version has Y shaped bars. The hand grips are already attached. The streamers are made of red and white ribbon.
Wooden version has a straight handlebar. The hand grips are a cheaper plastic and are difficult to slide onto the bar. The streamers are a red vinyl that doesn't hang as nicely.
Bell: Both versions have the same bell.
"Tires": The metal version has wheels that are hard and smooth. The wooden version has wheels that are a bit softer and have slight grooves.
Overall build: The wooden version does have a wooden body, steering column, and front axle with metal pieces to connect them all.
The metal version has a metal body and connection pieces with a plastic front axle.
Assembly: The metal trike was easier to put together, but neither was super difficult. I did end up with an unexpected gap between the frame and the steering column on the wooden trike, but I don't know if that is a defect or not.
I will try to post photos of the two side-by-side later.

I gave this to Serenity (almost 14 months) for a Christmas present and she immediately LOVED it! It took her all of 30 minutes to figure out how to get on and off the bike and about a hour to learn how to go forward and NOT just backwards. Her steering isn't quite was she wants it to be, but she's learning! She rides around saying, "vroom vroom" - she's too cute! It's a great learning tool for that beautiful Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle I get her someday soon!
I didn't have any problems at all putting it together like some of the reviewers did. I did it by myself (without my husband's help) and in about 30 minutes.
It's very light and fits in my trunk so I can take it anywhere easily - which is good because Serenity loves it so much. She hasn't tipped it yet, so I would say that it's sturdy. My friend's older kids (6 ; 9) think it's really cool and they want to ride it too! People have already asked me where I found it!
I would recommend the Scoot-About as a wonderful 1st birthday or Christmas present!
